Book excerpt: ""R" is one of the most frequently misarticulated sounds in English (Hegde, 2019; Shriberg, 2009). SLPs may devote a significant amount of therapy hours addressing remediation of /r/. The repetitive nature of articulation practice can cause both the student/client and therapist to lose the high level of interest and energy needed to remain focused on targeted, repeated practice that assures generalization of correct sound production. Mastering R: Advanced Articulation Exercises provides SLPs and their students/clients with a wealth of opportunities for practicing the production of /r/ in various contexts to promote generalization. Hodson & Paden (1991) recommend planning remediation to take advantage of the tendency to generalize. Mastering R is intended as a generalization resource to be used after initial instruction in the production of /r/ in isolation, syllables and single words. Mastering R presents novel stimulus items incorporating contemporary topics, references and vocabulary, interesting facts and trivia, and humor, suitable for use with students/clients in grades 4 and above. We have found the use of more engaging and interesting stimulus items tends to increase interest and participation, hopefully increasing the potential for positive therapy outcomes"--
